PropertiesConfiguration - Using “/” in Property value

Question

I am using PropertiesConfiguration for loading and storing property values.

If I use character \'/\' in Property value, it gets saved as\'\\/\'. Could you please help me

Answer 1

The escaping of / is done to fulfill the requirements of the properties file format. This format is described at the JavaDoc of Properties.load(Reader).

If that's not what you want, then you don't really want a properties file, but some other (possibly similar) format.
